FEuCIrATiNG itself and the country
upon the apparent growth OF public
confidence in President Cleveland, the
Baltimore SIN closes very eulogistc
editorial on the President with this sem
tence. "TruSted clerks are retained,
and when new agents are appointed
they are selected not because OF po
litical influence, but with view 10
their capacity and fitness for the work
to be done. We are much mistaken
if the country does not appreciate all
this, and will doubtless be ready to
show its appreciation IN the right way
when the contest of 1888 takes place.
Can the SIN asset truthluIly that
appointments in Maryland-we mean
such as are subject to Civil Service
rules-have been made not because OF
political influence but with a view to
capacity and fitness for the work to be
done?
Was "Sonny" Mahon SO appointed
Was Gene" Higgins so appointed
Was "Hack" Quinn SO appinted?
Was Fritz Buckeimar so appointed
Was George Trust SO appointed?
On the contrary have not the great
majority of minor appointments in
Maryland been made solely for poli:i,
cal reasons, and in total disregard Of
the capacity, fitness, or character of the
appointees?
Have not their capacity and fitness
for political work only been regarded:
Have they not been appointed be-
cause they were political workers, and
for no other reason?
The SIN does not treat its readers
candidly, in misstating the self con,
fessed fact that appointments in Mary,
land have been dictated by ring o.
unscrupulous politicians, whose acts
have stultifed every pledge MIR. Cleve-
land ever gave the people, 'that pub
lie office is public trust with which
only men of character and integrity
should be invested.
The Cecil Whig., 1887-06-25
THE BASTARDY LAW.

We publish in another column a
report of the decision of the
Court of Appeals of this state de
claring the present existing Bastardy
Law constitutional. udge Stone
dissents from the opinion of his col
leagues and holds that Judge Duffy
of the court below, properly decided
the present Law unconstitutional
because it contains the word 'Fwhite"
and therefore discriminates in favor
of white persons and against colored
ones, in violation of the provision OF
the Fourteenth Amendment. With
all due Difference for the dignity and
character Of the highest appellate
court OF our state we believe the de
cision it has just rendered is wrong,
and that Judges Stone and Duffy
are right in their view of the law.
Nor i'll saying so, are we merely Civ
ing expression to partlzan opinion,
althoug if one class of our people
is to be protected by such a law, it
would be difficult to show cquitably
why every and all other classes are
not equally entitled to the same pro-
lection. In other words if the pen
alties of the Bastardy act are neces-
sary to protect white females why
are not colorcd females entitled to
The Cecil Whig., 1887-06-25

the same protection since the wei
fare of society is in either case in
volved, and the primary object OF
the law is to protect society against
the burdens of supporting illegiti-
mate children.
Now the fact is that the Lesisla-
ture of Maryland seems to haye held
these or similar views, because at its
session OF 1882 it repealed the sec
ton of the present law which con-
tains the word white" by the pas
sage of the following act.
SECTION /. Be 1t enacted br the
GrNr2aI -ISSrMbH of Maryland,
That sect IN one of article thirteen OF
the Code of Public General Laws, re
lating to "Bastardy and Fornicatlon," I"
be and the same is hereby repealed, and
the following enacted in lieu thereof.
1. Any justice of the peace upon in
formation given him of any woman
having an illegitimate child, may issue
his warrant to a constable of the county
or city, and the said constable shall
thereupon take such person before
some justice of the peace of the county
who shall require her to give security tc
indemnify the county from any charge
that may accrue by means of suct
child, and upon neglect or refusal
shall commit her to the custody of the
sheriff of the county, to be by hin
kept until she shall give such security
| Through some technically which
does not appear on its face 1t seem:
that this law is imperative i'll Mary
land, although diligent local inquiry
fails to discover the reason, the sup
position being that it vas engrosseo
by mistake. If it isn't law which
seems to be the tact, it ought to be
and the next legislature of Maryland
should correct the failure of its pre-
deCeSSOr.

THE industrial condition of women
was discussed at the Madison Square
Theatre, IN New York, few days ago,
by Miss Ida NJ. Van Elten, who con-
fined her remarks to new industries for
women France, she said, has always
been the promised land for women, as
it's cival laws are more favorable to her
mental development. In no other
country is less done for the professional
and technical education of women than
in the United States. The wages OF
women employed in sewing and in fac
tories would become higher if a num-
Der of those thus employed could be
placed in higher lucrative positions.
This could be done if the educated
women were educated sufficiently,
which seldom happens. The principal
of prominent ladies' school recently
had sixty applicants for vacant posi-
ton as teacher in her school and not
one of the sixty was fitted for the posi-
ton, although they had all received the
education usually given to the
daughters of wealthy parents. The
best schools should aim to give women
not only good general education, but
should train them in some speciality.
In the few trades and pursuits now open
to women much of her latent talent is
undeveloped. For those light trades
which require deftness and skill women
seem peculiarly adapted. In France
they ply such trades and secure wages
equal to those of men. In England to-
day a woman has the means at hand OF
obtaining training In any profession or
department of science she may wish to
enter. This, unfortunately, is not the
case here. In Germany the movement
tolncrease the field for woman S employ
ment is advancing and in the schools
they lean toward commercial training.
1t has been shown that women make
excellent proof-readers and compositorS,
but, owing to lack of means for ac-
quiring a training in these vocations,
few are fitted for the positions. In
France most of the ticket sellers on the
railroads are women, their deftness and
quickness making them peculiarly fitted
for the position. The Normal College
of New York annually educates for
teachers at least seventy five per cert,
more women than can obtain positions
Would it not be better if a commercial
course should be established IN the
school, where stencgraphy, book keep
ing, typewriting and similar branches
could be taught to these women? The
high schools of New England furnish
such a course, and graduate of the
Lynn school is nov the head book
keeper of large establishment in New
York. She recently had three positions
as bookkeeper at her disposal.
The Cecil Whig., 1887-06-25

The trustees Of Wells Female Col
lege at Aurora, New York, on Wednes-
day voted that women should be rep
resented in the Board. Miss Helen
F. Smith, the principal, and Mrs.
Grover Cleveland, were unanimously
chosen trustees. We publish this as
another indication of the tardy recog-
milton of woman's usefulness in higher
educational work.
